Microcooker to Melt Chocolate/Butter

[pcchefjane]

I have an older Kids in the Kitchen recipe that says to melt butter & chocolate in a saucepan on the stove. I was wondering if I could use the microcooker instead since the pan can't be purchased separately. I send out recipes to my Kids in the Kitchen Workshop attendees monthly and also want to create a "Package Deals" sheet since it is close to Christmas. Thanks!

I would think they'd have different cooking times, but give it a try!

Thanks but I need to know about it from someone who has tried it. I don't have the microcookers or I would try it myself.

Micro-Cookers are great for melting chocolate and/or butter. Stir after each 30 second interval

I agree, they are great for melting butter and chocolate, along with stirring.

Stir after every 20-30 seconds...it will take aprox. 2 minutes depending on the amount of chocolate and the microwave.

Thanks for the help! I wanted to encourage purchases of the microcooker...
